If you want to sum up Hide in a few words, then he's an Act politician and Act party leader. Any show he appeared in once may be worth a sentence somewhere well down in the article, but it isn't one of the major things he'll be remembered for. If you could cite a source, that would be great, but it still shouldn't go at the top of the article.-gadfium 07:49, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

This is a biography of Hide. It's a place to explain his political viewpoint, but not really a place to debate it. Critical views of Hide are welcome, but they must be cites from print sources or a reputable web site (not a blog).-gadfium 19:33, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
